I know the scene you speak off in Alien Resurection, and had the same reaction. But if this is the scene where you brain went "NO", this is the scene where my brain went "HELL, YES!" I could completely buy that this particular Scully would do something like this.

I loved all the difficult scenes in Iolokus - though I did not "buy" all of them - but that's probably because I'm a sucker for deep dark angst and love it when good writing roughens me up out of my comfort zone a little.

Overly pretty language distracts me from the narrative flow, which is why I always had troube with Penumbra's writing until Fathom Five came along.

The Mooselet is made of pure genius.
